Does anyone know what can make a car alarm go off besides the obvious?
Because my mom's car alarm keeps on going off. No one's trying to break into it, and it's not the kind that goes off if you lean on it or whatever. It just keeps on going off randomly. I'm sure the neighbors are thrilled. I was wondering, could anything be fucking with the technology of the alarm and causing it to trigger? I think the neighbors are going to KILLLLL us.
Should I even bother going to sleep tonight if this thing is going to friggen go off every hour!?
On a lighter note, I started Kelley Armstrong's "Broken" yesterday. I'm about 170 pages into it so far and I think it's REALLY good. I've found myself being drawn back to the horror genre lately. You'd think I had gotton it out of my system with all the years of watching Buffy and eagarly awaiting or Amelia Atwater-Rhodes's new vamp book to come out each year, but after a few years of not really being drawn towards ANYTHING in horror (save Robin McKinley's "Sunshine" which is the best work of horror I have ever read) all I want to do now is read it.
Look at this. I just finished "Touch the Dark" by Karen Chance (if you're curious: this book started out great and it had a fascinating setting and cast of character. Unfortunatly, I really felt as if it could have done with an extra hundred page or a few less characters as they were all (save the heroine) pretty under-developed). Now I'm reading "Broken" by Kelly Armstrong. I'll be getting "Kitty and the Midnight Hour" in the mail through pbs soon. Check out my paperbackswap wish list, I've gotten quite a few interesting books on there from the horror genre from Stephanie Meyer's "Twilight" to books about Tech witches.
Yes, apparently I am also falling back into the "innocent girl falls in love with dark sexy vampire" thing, as can be seen with my wish for "Twilight."
But yes, "Broken" is very good. I think I've only read one really good werewolf novel in my lifetime (everyone loves to write about vamps and witches but werewolves are always secondary characters) and "Broken" is shaping up to be just as good. Now all I have to do is wait in line with the 27 other people for it's sequel "Stolen" (there are 16 people waiting for the hardcover, including myself, but I think the paperback will come in first). I am a bit worried that the book will come in only after I've run out of credits. I have 10 now (and four or five more in transit) but I've been ordered books like mad recently. I have four coming to me and two more requested (damn you Kitty!).
If you're curious the car alarm went off two more times while writing this entry.
